bazza stub,
I can and I will --- based on what was required of previous iterations of Qantas cadet schemes --- at one stage including up to 10H aeros. on a CAP 10 --- serious aerobatics.
The standards of knowledge required in the classroom and the standards of "stick and rudder" performance were all well beyond any CASA syllabus.
It is to be devoutly hoped that such a legacy is carried through, and the sentiment among senior QF training people is very much to support such basic skills.
That pilots have to be more than "Systems managers/monitors" is now well understood, even if such an idea has not ascended by osmosis to non-operational management.
Tootle pip!!
